Walking out of the provincial capital of the airport, Zachary took a deep breath. In the past few days in Jingcheng City, a lot of things had happened. Now returning to the provincial capital, he had a sense of belonging to home. After taking a taxi, Zachary directly went back to Rende Hall. When the taxi driver knew that Zachary was the famous Dr. Ching, he insisted not to charge Zachary's fare.

Returning to Rende Hall, Zachary put away his luggage, arranged it, and then washed up. He stayed in the pharmacy for a few hours, asked about the situation in the past few days, and helped Jiang Yuan and others solve some problems in the past few days.

Then Zachary went to Huahao Group, Lorenzo Road International and Lorenzo Road Entertainment to check it out and learned about the flow of companies. With Sister Lim at home, there were no problems in the company. Finally, at dinner time, Zachary came to the Rende Dining Shop and planned to have a meal and inspect it by the way.

It seemed that when Zachary arrived, the chef of the medicine restaurant immediately cooked a nutritious meal for Zachary. Zachary chatted with them while eating, but An Wei did not appear when they were about to finish one meal. So Zachary asked, "Isn't An Wei here?"

"Dr. Ching, Manager An said that he had something to do and needed to go back to his hometown for a period of time, so he asked us to ask for leave for you."

"Back to my hometown!" Zachary was a little surprised because he didn't seem to have heard anything about his hometown from An Wei.

However, since An Wei had something to do, he could go back. Anyway, almost no one dared to move Zachary's property in the provincial capital now. Naturally, there was no need for powerful people like An Wei to watch him here all the time.

After eating the herbal cuisine, Zachary left the pharmacy. It was getting late, so he was going to think about whether he should go home and spend the night or go to Sister Lim's place to make out with her. Before Zachary could make a decision, he received a call.

Zachary looked at the caller ID, Song Yiqing and Elder Song. So he quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Elder Song! Call me, do you want to ask about Yunjia? Don't worry, she has already arranged for you at Jingcheng University, and I have already returned to the provincial capital. You don't have to worry about me."

Old Daoist Song said, "Zachary, thank you for the matter of Yunjia. However, I called you not because of Yunjia, but because I want to see what's going on."

Zachary could tell that there was something wrong with Song Yiqing's tone, so he asked, "Mr. Song, what's the matter? Did something happen to you? I'll go back to Ludington City right away."

Old Taoist Song said, "You don't have to go back to Ludington City. I'm in the provincial capital, in Room 302 of the Kingsbury Hotel."

"Mr. Song, I'll be right there. Please wait a moment." Zachary hung up the phone, got on the car and rushed to the Kingsbury Hotel. Soon, he arrived at Room 302.

Zachary knocked on the door and shouted, "Mr. Song, it's me. Zachary, I'm here!"

The sound of chains and the movement of tables and chairs came from the inside of the room. After a long time, the door was opened. Mr. Song said to Zachary, "Zachary, you are here. Come in!"

At this moment, when Zachary saw Elder Song's face, he was shocked and shouted, "Elder Song, what's wrong with you?"

Because at the moment, Elder Song was totally different from before, who had white hair and a ruddy complexion. He had lost a lot of weight, sunken eyes, and even the outline of eye bones could be seen.

"Mr. Song, what about your body?" Zachary didn't need to examine it, but at the moment, he could tell that Mr. Song was very weak.

After Elder Song invited Zachary to sit down, he looked at Zachary, who looked anxious, and said slowly, "Zachary, I didn't want to trouble you, but this matter is really weird."

"Mr. Song, you don't need to be so polite to me. Tell me, what happened to you? Why did you become like this?" Zachary asked anxiously.

Elder Song sighed softly and said, "Let's start from a week ago..."

Zachary quickly sorted out the whole thing. It turned out that just a week ago, the Antique Association in the province held a party in the provincial capital to let the people in the circle gather in the provincial capital, show off their collections, and publicize their knowledge of the antiques to ordinary people. It could be regarded as a half-open exhibition.

As the president of Ludington City's Antique Association, Elder Song naturally would not miss such a chance to communicate at a gathering. He quickly chose a few of his favorite collections and came to the provincial capital to participate in this exchange.

The meeting was held very well. Mr. Song was very happy with the discussion with many of his peers, and he had also watched a lot of antiques collected by others. It was a lucky thing.

But just as the exchange meeting ended, a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, who dressed in ordinary clothes and looked a little like an old farmer, came to Elder Song and said that he wanted to buy a bronze tripod of the Ming Dynasty in his hand, and he was willing to pay five million yuan for it.

This price had exceeded the actual value of one million yuan of the bronze mini cauldron. It was a good price. However, Mr. Song really liked these collections of his. He didn't lack money to use them, so he declined the requirements of the buyer.

If one were to say that this kind of thing happened in the exhibition, it would be quite normal. If they found someone they liked, they would offer a price and ask, or exchange with the two parties who held antiques. Of course, it was also quite normal for them to be rejected.

But this time, the middle-aged man who looked like an old farmer that Elder Song met was somewhat abnormal.

After Mr. Song refused his offer of five million dollars, the middle-aged man directly doubled the price to ten million dollars and asked once again, but Mr. Song still refused. Then this man doubled the price to twenty million dollars again, and he still wanted to buy it.

This time, Elder Song thought that this person's spirit was a little abnormal. How could he go so far as to buy a small bronze cauldron that was not very precious? Therefore, he refused the other party's request even more strictly.

As a result, the old farmer left with a gloomy look on his face. But before he left, he said to Elder Song maliciously, "You won't have a good result if you don't sell this cauldron to me."

Although Elder Song was unhappy when he heard these words, he merely treated them as the vicious words of that person after becoming angry from embarrassment. He did not take them to heart.

In the evening, Mr. Song returned to the hotel with his collection. As a result, when he was taking a rest in the evening, Mr. Song, who had always had a good sleep, became a devil.

In his dream, he was torn apart by an enormous spider. His flesh was badly mangled, and then pieces of flesh were torn and torn apart one after another. The scene was extremely terrifying and bloody.

At that time, Mr. Song was so scared that he woke up. At this time, Mr. Song was a little confused, but he didn't doubt anything.

However, in the following two days, as soon as he fell asleep, he began to make nightmares of being eaten by the spiders, and then woke up with a start, so that he couldn't fall asleep at all. As a result, within a few days, he became what Zachary was looking at now.

Last night, Elder Song was so exhausted that he couldn't stop himself from falling asleep. He was once again torn to shreds by a huge spider. However, he didn't wake up immediately this time. Another figure appeared in his dream and told him that the bronze cauldron in his hand was an ominous item and he had to quickly throw it away. If he didn't throw it away, he would be in deep trouble.

Mr. Song was awakened again. He recalled the scene in his dream, and then looked at his bronze tripod and the figure in his dream. He couldn't help but doubt the old farmer who failed to buy a tripod before.

After hearing Elder Song's story, Zachary couldn't help frowning and said, "I can almost be sure that the other party is also someone who has some means of cultivation. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to guide Elder Song to be a devil so easily and even pass on the message in his dream."

"And the reason why the other side is so hard to do is only one thing, that is, the bronze tripod in the hands of Elder Song."

Therefore, Zachary first warmed Mr. Song's body with the smell of a hundred herbs to nourish his exhausted body for the past few days. Then he began to carefully check the bronze tripod.

However, after a thorough examination, Zachary was confused. This small cauldron was an antique, and it contained some Yin qi of the past years, which was suitable for cultivators like Elder Lei to absorb. However, there was nothing else special about it.

If it was just for this pure yin qi, then the old farmer would offer five million or even twenty million to buy this small cauldron. In the end, he didn't succeed and even used the methods of cultivators to deal with Elder Song. This didn't make

sense.

It was hard to replace anything special. Zachary called Master Lei and asked him to come over to help him. After all, Zachary was not familiar with the "Five-poisons Yin Qi" he practiced, so he might be able to replace other special features. Then, Zachary continued to nurse Elder Song's health. Soon, Lei Lao rushed over. Zachary quickly told him about Elder Song's story and asked him to check the bronze tripod.

Lei Lao immediately braced himself up, almost lying on the small tripod, and began to examine it little by little.

In the end, Lei Lao directly stuffed his nose into the small cauldron and desperately sniffed the smell inside. He even used his fingers to stain the inner walls of the small cauldron before melting in the water and carefully tasting it. This action made Zachary and Elder Song both confused and curious.

After an hour, Lei Lao finally stopped what he was doing and put the small cauldron on the table under the window. He stood up and took a deep breath. He looked at Zachary and Lei Lao and said, "Although I still don't know what this small cauldron is exactly, I have a general direction."

"A rough direction?" Zachary said, "Lei Lao, don't keep us guessing. Just tell us."

Lei Lao gently coughed and said: "The ancient cauldron was originally used to cook things. Later on, it evolved into a sacrificial vessel. However, normally speaking, the size is much larger than this small cauldron. Hence, I guess that this small cauldron is not used to cook things or as a ceremonial vessel. Furthermore, I have just tasted it, so I have finally obtained some clues. Thus, I guess..."

Just when Lei was about to announce the result, suddenly there was a loud bang, and the three people in the house were shocked.

They quickly turned around and saw that the window of the room was directly broken. A figure rushed in quickly, grabbed the small tripod on the table, and jumped down the stairs.

"It's him! That old farmer!" Elder Song recognized him and shouted.

"I'll go after him. Elder Lei, stay here and protect Elder Song!" Zachary's face turned cold, and he also rushed out of the broken window.
